    The Huskers should match up well with MSU, don’t you think? What a joke!

      Hey I am a Michigan fan, and we really need you guys to upset MSUck, so good luck, anyone can win on a given day, Go Blue!

    • Brian says:

      I think Mike Fox should be able to shut down Draymond Green. Not sure MSU has an answer for NU’s front line of fox and Ubel.

      • kevin says:

        really Brian you pick on Fox who’s a walk on, and Ubel ? why don’t you say something about McCray, Spencer, Richardson, Talley. So the two white guys r the one’s u decide to pick on ? they’ve been the reason for the horrible performance this year…

  2. Mel says:

    Hey, the Huskers are short, but at least they’re slow. (I know, not funny.)

  3. Roy says:

    Here we go, new basketball plan as follows:

    Point guard – Steven Osborne 6′ 4″
    Wing – Max Pirman 6′ 5″
    Forward – Brent Qvale 6″ 7″
    Forward – Robert Barry 6′ 8″
    Center – Zach Sterup 6′ 8″

    Play ‘em until they foul out.

  4. Ben says:

    Sean Fisher could play some guard a 6′ 6″

  5. CDad63 says:

    I wonder if Izzo would trade his 5 players ‘least likely to see the court’ for our 5 starters, jsut for this game. I think he might be concerned about a talent upgrade.

    Bye Doc.
